Reading International Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
Earnings Call Webcast to Discuss First Quarter Financial Results
Scheduled to Post to Corporate Website on Tuesday, May 19, 2026
NEW YORK - May 15, 2026 - Reading International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDI) (“Reading” or our “Company”), an internationally diversified cinema and real estate company with operations and assets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, today announced its results for the First Quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Key Financial Summary Results –First Quarter 2026
·
Total Revenues of $45.1 million increased by 12% from $40.2 million in Q1 2025.
·
Representing the best result for this metric since Q1 2019, a reported Operating Loss of $3.6 million marks a 47% improvement from a $6.9 million Operating Loss reported in Q1 2025.
·
EBITDA decreased to a negative EBITDA of $0.8 million compared to a positive EBITDA of $2.9 million in Q1 2025, which 2025 quarter reflected a gain on sale of $6.6 million from the sale of our real estate assets in Wellington, New Zealand.
·
Taking into account that Q1 2025 gain on sale, our Basic Loss per Share of $0.36 declined by 69% compared to a Basic Loss per Share of $0.21 in Q1 2025.
·
Taking into account that Q1 2025 gain on sale, our Net Loss Attributable to Reading of $8.1 million weakened by 71% compared to a loss of $4.8 million in Q1 2025.
In Q1 2026, both the Australian and New Zealand dollar average exchange rates strengthened against the U.S. dollar by 10.8% and 3.9%, respectively, compared to Q1 2025. With 53% of our Total Revenues being generated by our Australian and New Zealand businesses this quarter, the stronger currency positively impacted our U.S. reported operating results. This exchange ratio improvement trend has continued since the end of the quarter.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Ellen Cotter said, “We’re pleased to report that the Company achieved its strongest first quarter Operating Income result since 2019 pre-pandemic. This strong performance was powered by a 14% increase in our global cinema revenue, attributable to a stronger movie line-up from movies like Project Hail Mary, Wuthering Heights, GOAT, and Hoppers, along with solid Q4 2025 holdovers like Avatar: Fire and Ash and Zootopia 2. Also, reflective of the successful execution of our key strategic initiatives, each of our cinema divisions delivered improved operating income results, with our Australian cinemas delivering a much improved first quarter. In addition to our U.S. and Australian cinema divisions reporting the highest ever first quarter Food & Beverage spend per head, all cinema divisions continued to add members to their loyalty programs through creative initiatives. We expect our positive momentum to continue through 2026 as the remaining movie slate looks extremely promising with titles like Toy Story 5, Moana, Minions & Monsters, The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
Our Q1 2026 global Real Estate division segment revenues and operating income decreased against Q1 2025. The performance reflects the execution of our strategy to raise liquidity through select asset monetization, most notably the 2025 sales of our real estate assets in Wellington, New Zealand and Townsville, Australia. Our U.S. Real Estate business supported the global Real Estate division by reporting its highest ever first quarter U.S. Real Estate revenue, led by strengthening in our Live Theatre revenue.
Lastly, our improved Q1 2026 Operating Loss also reflects an 8% reduction in our global General & Administrative costs.”
Cotter continued, “During the first quarter 2026, in an effort to bolster our liquidity, our Board directed Management to begin efforts to sell the Cinemas 1,2,3 building in NYC. And, as of the date of this Release, we are under contract to sell our Napier property in New Zealand with an expected cinema lease back.
With a solid first quarter operational start, a balance sheet which continues to be anchored by a strong real estate portfolio, and our global cinemas poised to capitalize on an exciting and robust movie slate through the remainder of the year, while no assurances can be given, we believe our Company is well-positioned to deliver a strong 2026.”
Cinema Business
·
With respect to Q1 2026, and compared to Q1 2025, our global cinemas reported (i) $41.5 million in cinema revenue, representing a 14% increase, and (ii) an operating loss of $1.3 million, representing a 70% improvement.
·
These positive results were driven by:
(i) Increased attendance at our U.S. cinemas as a result of an improved Q1 2026 movie slate, despite a 7.3% reduction in our U.S. screen count due to the 2025 closure of an underperforming cinema;
(ii) Increased attendance in our Australian cinemas as a result of an improved Q1 2026 movie slate, coupled with creative and compelling loyalty program initiatives;
(iii) Improved F&B sales per person (“SPP”) for Q1 2026: (a) at AU$8.09, our Australian Cinema F&B SPP, represented the highest first quarter ever for our Australian Cinemas, and (b) at $8.38, our U.S. Cinema F&B SPP also ranked the highest first quarter during which our U.S. circuit was fully operating (i.e. excluding pandemic closure periods); and
(iv) The strengthening of the Australian and New Zealand currencies during the first quarter 2026.
·
We continue to work with our global cinema landlords to align our occupancy costs with current operating conditions to help manage inflationary pressures and rising labor and operating costs, especially in the State of Hawaii, where we have experienced a significantly higher increase in operating expenses compared to the U.S. Mainland.
Real Estate Business
·
With respect to Q1 2026, and compared to Q1 2025, our global Real Estate business reported (i) $4.6 million of Real Estate revenue representing a decrease of 5%, and (ii) operating income of $1.4 million representing a 13% decrease.
·
Our Q1 2026 U.S. Real Estate revenues of $1.8 million represented a 13% increase from Q1 2025 primarily due to the improved performance of our Live Theatre assets in NYC, including our Minetta Lane Theatre, which generated its best first quarter in the Company’s history.
·
As of December 2025, we own 100% of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property. In order to improve our liquidity conditions, during the first quarter of 2026, our Board directed management to begin efforts to sell this property.
·
In New Zealand, we signed a purchase and sale agreement on March 4, 2026, to monetize our Napier property. The transaction has proceeded to the due diligence period. The transaction contemplates a lease back to us of the cinema at that location.
·
As of March 31, 2026, our combined Australian and New Zealand property portfolio has 58 third-party tenants, with a portfolio occupancy rate of 98% and total leased gross lettable area of 156,171 SF.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity

·
Our cash and cash equivalents were $5.5 million.

Our assets had a total book value of $431.5 million, compared to a book value of $434.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Earnings Release presents total segment operating income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are important financial measures for our Company, but are not financial measures defined by U.S. GAAP.
These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant U.S. GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of earnings (loss) per share, cash flows or net income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Total segment operating income (loss) and EBITDA, as we have calculated them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Total segment operating income (loss) – We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on segment operating income (loss), and management uses total segment operating income (loss) as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. We believe that information about total segment operating income (loss) assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our Company’s business separate from non-operational factors that affect net income (loss), thus providing separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results.
EBITDA – We use EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company’s performance since we believe that EBITDA provides a useful measure of financial performance and value. We believe this principally for the following reasons:
We believe that EBITDA is an accepted industry-wide comparative measure of financial performance. It is, in our experience, a measure commonly adopted by analysts and financial commentators who report upon the cinema exhibition and real estate industries, and it is also a measure used by financial institutions in underwriting the creditworthiness of companies in these industries. Accordingly, our management monitors this calculation as a method of judging our performance against our peers, market expectations, and our creditworthiness. It is widely accepted that analysts, financial commentators, and persons active in the cinema exhibition and real estate industries typically value enterprises engaged in these businesses at various multiples of EBITDA. Accordingly, we find EBITDA valuable as an indicator of the underlying value of our businesses. We expect that investors may use EBITDA to judge our ability to generate cash, as a basis of comparison to other companies engaged in the cinema exhibition and real estate businesses and as a basis to value our company against such other companies.
EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and it should not be considered in isolation or construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or other operations data or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for purposes of analyzing our profitability. The exclusion of various components, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, limits the usefulness of these measures when assessing our financial performance, as not all funds depicted by EBITDA are available for management’s discretionary use. For example, a substantial portion of such funds may be subject to contractual restrictions and functional requirements to service debt, to fund necessary capital expenditures, and to meet other commitments from time to time.
EBITDA also fails to take into account the cost of interest and taxes. Interest is clearly a real cost that for us is paid periodically as accrued. Taxes may or may not be a current cash item but are nevertheless real costs that, in most situations, must eventually be paid. A company that realizes taxable earnings in high tax jurisdictions may, ultimately, be less valuable than a company that realizes the same amount of taxable earnings in a low tax jurisdiction. EBITDA fails to take into account the cost of depreciation and amortization and the fact that assets will eventually wear out and have to be replaced.
Adjusted EBITDA – using the principles we consistently apply to determine our EBITDA, we further adjusted the EBITDA for certain items we believe to be external to our core business and not reflective of our costs of doing business or results of operation. Specifically, we have adjusted for (i) legal expenses relating to extraordinary litigation, and (ii) any other items that can be considered non-recurring in accordance with the two-year SEC requirement for determining an item is non-recurring, infrequent or unusual in nature.
